Dependence on Geodon: Withdrawals and Medication Transition

does anyone else experience dependacy on geodon? whenever my psychiatrist decreases my dosage i experience withdrawals. however, when i google it it says it's non-addictive. i'm changing my medication around to vraylar and possibly invega and i feel super sick while transitioning to them. to add further context i also stopped taking it entirely once and i experienced very bad side effects then as well to a very strong degree lol

I have no experience with geodon but it's very possible to experience withdraws from any psych med even if they say it's "non-addictive" so many people have lots of issues going off. you can try to talk to your psychiatrist about tapering off slower? or see if they have any other ideas maybe
